Dumb Question but Relevent

[crusader18]

I think what it is is I'm looking for stuff that is top of the list/best in class, so is everyone else and by the time i get there it's gone. I guess when something says "Available for pre-order" I should be ordering it. I just have an aversion to spending money on stuff that isn't already on the shelf, unless of course I'm paying to have it made, like a PF barrel.
